Music And Bunnies


Here's a Rigby to brighten up your day!! :)



I made an interesting discovery last week.  Apparently, the bunnies like music.  While normally very active, noisy and all over the place, once music starts playing, all three bunnies start to quiet down and remain still.   

Pilot, the littlest one, seems to especially like music, but then again, he’s also the one bunny who likes watching TV.  Speaking of Pilot, he’s my little odd bunny, momma’s special boy.  And before you start to judge me, here are just a few of Pilot’s odd habits.

One of Pilot’s favorite hobbies is to watch Jojo.  Often times, I’ll look over toward Pilot’s cage, only to see him pressed up against it, jumping back and forth in sync to Jojo’s movements.  He also likes to stand on top of his pellet bowl and stretch to the top of his cage. 

Pilot also likes to stare at the wall for periods of time.  Whether he’s eating his greens or is in his litter box, he’ll just stop whatever he’s doing and start staring at the wall.  Why does he do it, I don’t know.

Rigby on the other hand likes to be constantly moving and likes to decorate his cage on a daily basis.  Normally, Rigby’s litter box is located toward the very back of his cage.  Whenever he’s feeling energetic though, he’ll move his box to the middle of the cage so he can run laps around it.  When he’s all tired out and ready for a bunny nap, he’ll just push the box back to the back of the cage and stretch out in front of it.

Normally a well-behaved bunny, Jojo hardly ever gets in trouble, unlike his two brothers.  He does have a mischievous streak to him though.  Jojo loves treats, and he even recognizes the sound of his treat bag.  All it takes is a shaking of the bag to get him to come running to you. 

Jojo’s love for his treats is what got him into trouble the other day.  About a week and a half ago, I had Pilot on the couch with me and was about to give him a treat, when guess who decided to come up and steal Pilot’s treat?  That’s right, the one and only Jojo.  He just hopped right on over to the couch and snatched that nut treat straight out of my hand.

Needless to say, Pilot got a new treat, and while I was in the process of scolding Jojo, all it took was one look at the cute little bunny face and he got off scot-free.

Christmas Time At The Bunny Residence



Bunny stockings for my three little boys :)
The bunnies just received their late-Christmas present, a very stylish, extra large doghouse that has since been coined The New and Improved Bunny Shack.  Their old bunny shack was made out of cardboard boxes, but had to be thrown out after it started to fall apart.  For three little bun buns that don’t even weigh a combined total of more than 15 pounds, the doghouse looks more like a bunny condo than a bunny shack. 



Rather than being excited about his new playhouse, Jojo, the oldest bunny, was more excited about the packing paper that the doghouse was packed in.  Needless to say, in addition to the four cardboard boxes, one basket, various wicker balls and three blocks of wood I have laying around my living room floor, I have now added a pile of packing paper to the bunnies’ playthings. 

It wasn’t until I added a blanket, a basket, some hay and Jojo’s stuffed rabbit that Jojo started showing more interest in The Bunny Shack.  He has recently taken to hanging around near the opening to the doghouse where he plays with the basket, while occasionally sticking his little bunny head out the entrance to look around.     

So all in all, I would call the new bunny shack a success.  The only downside to it is the fact that it takes up a lot of room.  The bunnies like to binky, which is when they run around and jump around my apartment whenever they’re excited about something, like receiving treats or getting out after being penned up all day. 

Jojo especially has a little trail that he likes to run whenever he’s binkying around the apartment.  Unfortunately for him though, The Bunny Shack is currently taking up some of his running room.  As of now, Jojo has bumped into The Bunny Shack at least three times already.  But does that stop him?  Not a chance.  Doesn’t even slow him down, he just keeps on zooming past the doghouse before circling around the coffee table and couch for another lap.
